Acoustics of the Japanese brand Sony needs no introduction — it is always high quality and stylish design. The flagship SRS-XB41 speaker from the Extra Bass series breaks all the charts in popularity and definitely costs more than they ask for it.
Shines and does not sink
The speaker looks quite compact. Dimensions 104x291x105 mm and weight 1.5 kg allow you to hold it in your hand, however, in a wide man's one. The boombox has a textured fabric surface that is pleasant to the touch and is available in blue, red, black and white.
The model is equipped with contour lighting and strobe lights. The dynamism of flickering and colours is adjusted by selecting presets through the application in the smartphone, and if desired, the backlight can be turned off. In addition, the manufacturer claims IP67 protection, which allows the use of the system not only in the rain, but also in salt water. We did not try to drown it, but we also doubted Sony's assurances.
sound power
2 speakers with a total power of up to 50 W operate in a frequency range of 20 – 20,000 Hz. A passive radiator is responsible for low frequencies, and three equalizer presets are responsible for setting the frequencies in general: Live Sound, Extra Bass, Standard. To put it bluntly, the speaker sounds great for its size. The sound is powerful, juicy and dense, while being clear and without distortion even at high volumes. In addition, if desired, the power can be increased by connecting another speaker from the SRS series with support for the Sony Party Chain function to the speaker.
Party Booster and DJ
A really cool feature for entertainment will be Party Booster and DJ modes. The first allows you to turn the speaker into a drum kit. It is enough to lightly hit the body in different places, and it will make sounds of different percussion instruments. There are several Drum Kits to choose from, from dance to rock and percussion. And the DJ mode will allow you to play with sound effects by simply swiping your finger across the smartphone screen.
We connect everything
The speaker works via AUX and Bluetooth v 4.2 with support for AAC and LDAC codecs, so the wireless sound quality is not satisfactory. A separate bonus is an NFC chip and a voice assistant. You can set up notifications, reminders, an alarm clock, and speak on the speakerphone with quite normal audibility.
Work from the network and in Power bank mode
The boombox is powered by a 220V network, for this there is a separate charger in the kit, as well as from a built-in battery, which provides the speaker with just a record battery life of 24 hours, and besides this, it can also be used as a power bank. In addition, there is a button on the connector panel that allows you to find out about the remaining battery charge.
Sony SRS-XB41 is just the same example of a portable music centre with the capabilities of a smart assistant and a DJ console. The system is perfect for both home use and outdoor leisure activities, sports. And the volume reserve and balanced powerful sound will satisfy even demanding music lovers.
